Abstract

A method of treating an organic material such as textile fibres with an alkali metal hydroxide solution including the steps of: (i) contacting the organic material with the hydroxide solution to produce an effluent comprising an alkali metal hydroxide solution which contains multivalent ions and soluble and insoluble organic and inorganic matter; (ii) reducing the pH of the effluent to a value in the range 7 to 9 by contacting with an acid gas; (iii) filtering the solution from step (ii) to remove suspended insoluble matter having a size greater than 0,1 microns. (iv) filtering the filtrate from step (iii) to remove multivalent ions and organic matter having a molecular mass greater than about 300 daltons; (v) providing an electrochemical cell in which an anode compartment is separated from a cathode compartment by a cation selective membrane; (vi) passing the filtrate from step (iv) into the anode compartment of the electrochemical cell; (vii) passing an electrical current through the cell causing alkali metal ions to pass through the cation selective membrane and alkali metal hydroxide to be produced in the cathode compartment and the acid gas to be produced in the anode compartment; (viii) returning the alkali metal hydroxide to step (i); and (ix) using the acid gas produced in the cathode compartment for reducing the pH of the effluent in step (ii).
